Esca Restaurant   

if you like seafood you must try esca. my wife and i went with two other couples. we all had something different. the food was great. there were no complaints.we highly recommend this place to anybody that likes seafood.

In an upscale Italian restaurant they should at minimum know how to spell in Italian. So please correct your menu because Panettone is spelled with one N not two. Also , panettone is a typical dessert from Milan ,the Lombardia region, and I have never ever heard of Sicilian Panettone in Italy.

Excellent flavors and presentation with unusual selections. The wait staff was superb and the wine selection was purely delicious Italian.

During the past few years I have visited ESCA a number of times. We have had poor expirences the two recent times we were there for dinner. Recently my wife and I were there to celebrate our 25th Wedding Aniversary. We were extremely disappointed with both the food and the service. We went to the restaurant with the thought of having a romantic meal. Well we were very disappointed. Instead of listening to soft background music we were forced to sit and listen to hard rock music ala Pink Floyd. This is not the atmosphere that calls for Pink Floyd. Neighboring tables as well as ours asked the waiter and maitre D a number of times to turn down the volume. Our complaints fell on deaf ears. Our waiter had an attitude from the very start of the dinner because we did not order bottled water. There was absoluely nothing to write home about with regards to the food. The food was fair but not an of an elite quality that a Mario Bataili restaurant should serve. We were particularly upset that our waiter was inatentitive to making sure that our wine glasses were refilled. Upon completing our main course our waiter finally returned to refill our wine glasses. A little bit to late. There was still a half bottle of wine left. It would have been nice to drink the wine during our dinner not after. After reading this review I think it is safe to say that we did not enjoy ourselves. What a way to top off a 25th aviversary. Stay away!
